#UNDERGOING PROCESS... PLEASE WAIT.

[that-smallinjured-bowylamb]

Okay, ik this is random but a thought just popped up in my head... and like, what if yuu (us) had a..

Warnings ⚠️: cussing, idk Grammer, a little sprinkle of glitter (angst), I was probably high as I write this, spoilers for overblots!! and bla bla bla, lots of warnings you should know about, it's romance (because I want to feed my delusions, please let me have this one time 🙏🙏🙏), maybe OOC? Idk but it's that lethal face card okay? 😘 you're beautiful, reader is Gender neutral but might as well become someone's wifey. P.s I had even saw this in tiktok abt some TWST guy gets dared but then sees your face and stuff, so it got me thinking.

Lethal face card?

Like a face so majestic, it's otherworldly (literally) and impossible? Like in-game, there are just like cherub cute faces or sharp faces while being hot and whatnot, like so many attractive people *secretly glances at the TWST moms.* and they are just so charming in their own ways. But then there's like yuu, who just thinks they're average asf and don't think they can pull hoes, bc like in their world, they be seeing lots of kids YOUNGER THAN THEM literally having cute dates together, especially when that one friend that keeps talking about their 'fine' shyte and how their best friend sooooo wants them badly!

But the thing is, is that the fine shyte looks dog shyte. Uglier than any insect would be. Heck, the insects themselves are offended that they are being compared in the same category as that thing.

But if a walking, personified, definition of disastrous can pull baddies such as your best friend, then, surely someone has a crush on you, right? Nah, not a single one of them had showed even a syllable of romance even exists in your very essence, existence.

...Then, you get kidnapped to another world, where there is actual fine shytes, even if they are absolutely assholes. So, personally, if I was there, I would be incredibly insecure (Cause' like, c'mon, LOOK at them. And is that a mf that can pull off a supposedly hideous Bob?) Man, I so wanna die on the spot.

But, conveniently, an incident happens in this ritual- ceremony area thing. So, timskip to that let's say you kept your mask on yk? (Like let's say most of your classmates came in sick in class and kept coughing but some had no decency to cover their mouths so you gotta wear a mask for protection ya know?) And it was brought with you (thankfully), and ofc everyone gotta question on why you have that strange mask on your face??? (Idk leave me alone atp everyone in there is mogging me without trying), now let's say what happens if you finally let down that mask for a breather cause' damn, it felt like you were in space with limited oxygen in there. But someone was nearby and saw your face...

...

OH SHIT. YOU'RE COOKED.

Not because he saw you without your mask, besides that he saw yo ugly ass face and realized- uh, why tf is he looking at you like that?

Oh, and him as well...

Ace and Deuce just stared at you, red. Like, completely red, it's like seeing their favorite idol for the first time and was wayy too excited about meeting them, but entirely forgot how to speak to them, well. Now that they know, it can't be that bad, right? But, then you remembered you are also not safe from rumors.

Headcanons! (This is my first time omg, I'm nervous abt the hate ☹️)

Ace Trappola

• So when he first met you, he kinda thought you were weird, like seriously? A mask? What for? Lmao what r u, Kuchisake-Onna?/j (he doesn't know this one, I just wanted to add it)

How he found out?:

• Was just trying to search for you, since you know, probably going to drag you to do dumb shit with him.

• Even dragging Deuce along since he, too, wanted to find you.

• "Yooo, prefect, ya here?-"

• makes the first eye contact with that side profile of yours...

• damn, prefect, you single? Shit, if not then he might as well steal you away from your man then.

• Literally had his breathe knocked out of his lungs as if Mani Pacquiao (Reference 🤭) took him out of the ring. (He might as well buy you one-)

•the next day, though? Not too sure if he can make eye contact with ya, but he does want you to remove that stupid mask, it's blocking a very nice view! (Not that he'll admit though.)

Deuce Spade

• Genuinely thought you were terminally ill or something, like he just thought you couldn't go without your mask because you have some serious health conditions, so he tries to help you, even carrying your books and getting Grim off your back every while.

How he found out?:

• Was also walking with Ace, because he wanted to tell you what he and Grim did today! Like, isn't he close to becoming a model student!? He hopes you'll be proud of him! Especially his mom!

• So imagine his confusion when Ace stops in his tracks after calling out to you. Like man's confused on why his yapper just shuts up.

• "Ace? What's going on? Why are you so silent? Something wrong with the Prefect?"

• Moves to the side, just to see your dangerous face card (hoo boy, aren't I so hot? 😍/hj)

• Dude is just standing there with Ace just like: 🧍🧍‍♂️🐈‍⬛

• PREFECT???? IS THAT YOU?? GREAT SEVENS MUST'VE BLESSED YOU WITH SOMETHING. DID THE FAIREST QUEEN PERSONALLY TOOK CARE OF YOU?? WHAT.

•Cue to a tomato Deuce, that's redder than the heart on Ace's eye, that's redder than red fuming Riddles' mc' diddles.

• And then, the next day... he struggles to speak with you. Like, equivalent to a caveman speaking the modern language of the new generation of this world, so all he could do was like 🦍

• PREFECT.... WHY... you said you were ugly??- what the- that doesn't make sense- Are. You. Blind? Or did someone from your world brainwash you into thinking you were not even the least attractive? Screw that. You need that mask REMOVED.

• So, uh... what do you think about marriage?-

Cater Diamond

• Okay, when he met you, he thought you were wearing that mask for aesthetic, but also quickly deduced it to insecurity or smth. Like, he doesn't exactly know why you have that on, but he won't question it if it's too personal, but then you go up and tell him it won't be a pretty look if he ever saw it, he doubts that.

How he found out?:

• So, actually, yapper dumb (Ace) and yapping dumber (Deuce) couldn't stop talking about you, like in a way where the biggest, juiciest secret had been recently spilled so you gotta talk about it with shocked looks like you've witnessed a scandal with your bestie, and yapping dumber just couldn't stop about why you refuse to show your superior face that could challenge the goddess of beauty (if they ever existed) themselves (oh. Aphrodite won't like the sound of that 😕).

• But shine bright like a diamond but phone addict addition, comes in and his Pinocchio nose had snuff out their super secretive conversation and decided to check it out himself.

• Wtf do you mean your insecure? No one cared about your looks (okay, SOME did, but not all of them), and plus you're beautiful in every way bestie!! No need to hide it! Cay-cay is here to support you! Like how you've supported him! It's okay to let your mask down (hypocrite) around others you trust! He won't judge you.

• he accepts when you don't want to since insecurity is not something to easily let go of. BUT, if you do however...

• "[Name]-chan who lied to you... like girl-" he rants about how you could get many likes and followers on magicam just with those eyes alone, like, TF YOU MEAN YOUR UGLY??? WHAT'S THE BEAUTY STANDARD IN YOUR WORLD ANYWAY??? ARE ALL OF YOU IN THE OTHER WORLD THAT DROP-DEAD ANGELICALLY GORGEOUSLY UNTOUCHABLE? LOOK AT YOU!!! can we have a quick selfie?-

• Like after taking a quick selfie with Cater, he, -everytime he gets the chance- looks at the photo with you and him, on Magicam. Like, wow, he never knew his sweet Kouhai was a beauty underneath that mask! Maybe he should ask for more pics?-

• Literally wants to show this to the rest of his club members and also Riddle and Trey, like he gets your insecure and all, but what for, exactly?- like, he doesn't get why people are mean to you anyway, your so gorg!!! Like have you EVER gotten into a romantic relationship before??? NO? He can volunteer!-

Trey Clover

• At first, kinda like Cater he thought you wore it for design and stuff, but then also thought you could be insecure, well he didn't want to put assumptions without you confirming it so he just left it like that without much of a fuss, only when it's serious then he'll step in.

How he found out?:

• Okay so it all started when Cater was going out (to idk maybe find Ace and Deuce but took longer than necessary), but then the tweedle-dumb and tweedle-dumber arrived before Cater, just where is he???

• So then, when Cater got back, all Trey saw was that fond look in Cater's eyes, while being fixated on his phone. But Trey didn't mind it. Until it clicked- oftenly, Cater would have that specific fond look whenever the Prefect is near, or when Cater has a photo of them on his phone.

• And this is where Cater started to ramble about how cute you are, and how you should move around campus without your mask since there's no point in hiding beauty and keeping it selfishly for yourself! Share with them, prefect! Your loved here!

• "Ah. So, you saw them without the mask? What did they look like?" Cater flashes him with a magnificent shot of you.

• Like he may not be a Magicam expert, but the angle just hits in the right spot to get your good side view.

• Whoa.... you look really sweet, dear. Like you are already his favorite, always helpful, humble, and kind when necessary to others (or maybe you're just too kind? Whatever. It's you I'm talking about so whatever you did is a you thing, and he loves it) but, why hide all that? You're beautiful, you're a sweetheart, no one is going to judge you here, especially with that look of yours. (Sharp eyes or Doe eyes or almond eyes. Your beautiful <3)

• The next day he invited you to Heartslabyul to bake with him in this upcoming unbirthday party and he really needs some back-up, you don't mind helping him out, do you? Great! Thanks again! Oh and be sure to leave your mask somewhere safe, we don't want it to be dirty from the flour and other ingredients do we?

• Cue to him being distracted by your side profile not until you shook him back to reality to tell him the cupcakes in the oven is finished.

• Ah... but you don't need to wear that mask all the time, no? You should leave your mask here and enjoy the unbirthday party, no one's going to judge you, especially when your friends with the dorm-leaders and him, right? C'mon, give it a go! It won't hurt unless you try! And if you still prefer to wear the mask afterwards, then it's alright! (But the rumors will spread about a specific unmatched beauty from the prefect will spread rapidly at a inhumane pace-)

Riddle Rosehearts

• At first, he really thought it was mad annoying you refused to remove that silly mask of yours, like isn't that improper to wear a mask all the time? [<– him before overblot] but now? He doesn't mind it at all, so long as there's no rules about it, it should be fine.

How he found out?:

• Yapping Cater spilled it, and maybe in the unbirthday party, where he stepped in, examined all the sets, the roses red, table cloth white, and the tea- pause.

• Is... Is that you, prefect? He literally blue-screened mid-step and looked at you for about a minute in a half. (Dw, the rest of the heartslabyul was also astonished with your face card, damn- so you've been hiding all that for so long without anyone noticing?)

• Was silent for the rest of the unbirthday party, just admiring- ahem, admiring the beautiful roses there! Yes, the beautiful roses... that could look perfect on the prefect's hair... Ahem!- So, what are the traditions of courtship in your world?-

• Sevens, help him, he doesn't know what to do with these emotions, mother hadn't taught him how to deal with this at all.

• Man had full intentions about learning courtship and traditional marriages in your world, what for? Hmm, no need to worry about that! It is just curiosity! That's all!

• Don't question his red face, he might as well camouflage as his hair so you can't tell whether you're facing him in the front or back.

• If he may ask, what's your taste in men?-

• The next day everyone in school (Heartslabyul, specifically) was spreading a specific event that occurred during their unbirthday parties... what do you mean you want to date the prefect and if you even deserve a chance?

• Cue to at least fifteen of those students collared for the week.

Leona Kingscholar

• At first he hadn't paid much attention to your mask, most likely because he was uninterested in it and just wanted to sleep, he literally wanted this to get over already, it's getting boring just standing here, watching the entire ceremony being lit up in blue flames, ugh, it's better than the green ones at least...

How he found out?:

• He decidedly just wanted to find you, drag you, and sleep with him in the botanical gardens. And to his silent surprise you were already in said place just looking at a random ahh flower you probably like (or it's your favorite, or maybe it's a flower you've never seen before in your world and it smelled nice), but the thing is....

•...is... where is your mask? With that side profile, all looking pretty 'n' shit. What are you? Firstly, you came into this world claiming you didn't belong in this world and completely came from another universe entirely, secondly, you stepped on his tail then proceed to befriend the entirety of sweet-eating lovers that gets diabetes on a normal Sunday, thirdly, proceeds to crush his own plans with one of his froshes and demolish it completely leaving him to resort to the last violence he'll ever commit, fourth, is that little smart mouth of yours and wits that keeps him on his toes, fifth, is worming your way to his heart, not that he'll admit it, though. He's still in denial. He knows what it is and he can't admit it. He's afraid he'll be second again, but this time, it's second from your heart.

• Just stops in the middle, until you spot him and make eye contact with him (or not if you're uncomfortable with holding eye contact for too long).

• "Tch.. there you are herbivore, I was looking for ya' what'cha lookin over there for? C'mon, let's take a nap." *drags you, but by the arm and not the leg because he's a bitt worried he'll scratch your pretty face.*

• Sleeps. But then fucking dreams of you, in a dreamy version of you? Your surreal, he almost couldn't believe you are real. Even if you weren't, that doesn't matter, you looked beautiful. Not that he'd say out loud, though.

Ruggie Bucchi

• He didn't pay much attention to it like Leona, but he did notice it but didn't care since he thought you wore it for fun, shishishishi, you're a funny lookin guy, huh? Strange tastes, but you do you.

How he found out?:

• It was accidental, heard about the rumors of you bein' some princess in disguise since there is no way the pauper prefect is THAT pretty! No way! That's so unreal! Like, srsly no one should be that angelic! Why were they insecure again? If I were them, I'd never shut up about my looks.

•... Oookayyy....? New info! But now, he sees you walking by without your mask (for the first time!) And stops to look at you... woah. So it is true.. why tf are you insecure again? How do you not have a date by now?

• Seriously wants to use you as a bargaining chip, like you'll ask for some donuts, they'll listen, but then, you'll give him some! Ain't that a free ticket to luxury? Count him in!

• Seriously couldn't bring himself to use you to his bidding, high-key afraid of you since your beauty can be used as a weapon as well. (Or maybe if you look feminine enough)

• Welp! He may not be a rich or popular guy to be with, buttt you did help him a few times, what's so wrong about helping you out too? Shishishi! Consider yourself lucky he likes you!... as a friend, I guess.

Jack Howl

• Just when he met you, he thought you were those masked delinquents (yes there were delinquents with masks I'm just projecting a little) but thought you to be smart and intuitive, always taking the initiative and despite being scared you still went through it, bravery and determination got him some respects for you, until it developed the platonically into something else entirely.

How he found out?:

• The rumors from these days were spreading quicker, students left and right might as well give you a title for Prince[ss] (or monarchy) of NRC for this. Students lately, have been disturbing you with their constant invitations or straight up dates. And honestly? It was tiring, maybe you understood the popular friend that was always, constantly around the attention, maybe this was a bad idea to remove your mask after all. What is up with these people?

• Jack steps in as soon as he sees some group disturbing you, frustration only increased when he notice they were holding the mask you always wore to school. These bastards...

• "Leave em' alone, will ya'? Les' you wanna pick a fight."

• So timeskip when Jack gets your mask by intimidating them, making them drop the mask, so Jack picks it up and turns around to hand it to you, only to see your lethal face card that flashes at him when you smile (or laugh a little and thank him, idk up to you), so why is his heart racing faster than how he runs in his tracks club? Ah, no! His tail isn't wagging, your mistaken! He's annoyed, because... because those group of guys were botherin ya! That's all. Not that he's flustered or anything.

• He then leaves, with a red look on him, that memory of your face without a mask will be seared into his mind...

• Have you ever considered walking around school without that mask? Please do, it's to- well, uhm, to... improve your self-esteem! Yes! And, he'll help, in any way he can..

• Wanna meet his parents by the way-

Azul Ashengrotto

• He only cared of the profits he could make, but he couldn't deny that he didn't see a subtle glow around you and behind that mask, just what were you hiding in there? What motives do you have? Maybe he could find something in you that could be useful to him in the future, yes, yes, maybe he'll get some thaumarks out of this! Fufufu~ what an interesting individual. Maybe soon he'll find out what he can do with you.

How he found out?:

• Okay, so at first he wanted to make a profit out of you somehow, but that didn't happen, since you weren't a student at that time, so when he heard you defeated overblots, two of them? He's intrigued but it's not profitable. Only good for survival, so of course, everything goes according to the game and you fail his plans and blah, blah, blah, etc, etc. Now the conflict is over and boy, he really feels guilty.

• Okay, maybe he hasn't changed that much, but at least he's not going after you anymore! (Azul, are those marriage contracts?-)

• So, when the rumors reach his ears, he's intrigued, the prefect looks like an angel? Never knew that! (He did, he always thought you were, even with the mask on, but shhh don't tell him I said this though-).

• He thought he could make some profit outta this, but then remembers what happened last time so he can't because he has a big fat crush- been cautious with whom he should make contracts with! But, for you? That's a different contract.

• Okay so imagine his shock when he spots you in the empty corridors. Maybe his tall ass fridges- I mean henchmen eels were chasing down an unfortunate soul that forgot to pay rent and it's due today and happened to sprint in your direction as a sacrifice (NPC B said sorry when he ran past you, may the seven help you now or whomever it is you believe in).

• So when the twins stop their chase just to find you without the mask, Azul is like 🤨 so when he gets into the view- holy mother of pearls...

• His glasses metaphorically broke from the shine of the sunlight, that kisses the right angle of your face and hair, making you look truly otherworldly... a true angel maybe not by mindset, but in everyone's eyes? You really are. Why must you hide that pretty face of yours? Do you know how much you can do with that and with no repercussions as well?

• tried gaining his composure back, "Ahem!- Well, it is a pleasant surprise seeing you here, prefect. May I inquire what brought you here?" Is what he wanted to say, but he just kept staring and maybe to the point you had time to get away, didn't really help them on the other hand because now they're just seeing you glow with whatever you do.

• So have you ever thought of signing a totally not marriage contract?-

Jade Leech

• At the ceremony, you were an intriguing one, a magicless human from nowhere? My, how difficult it must be for you. Fufufu~ but just a little bit of a spark of interest and curiosity from that mask you wore to the ceremony, does land dwellers wear that for design? How strange, never seen a land dweller like you, maybe you're sick? Or maybe you want to hide something from them? It doesn't matter, he'll find out soon enough.

How he found out?:

• Yes, from the empty corridor, you were there, shining. Have you been hiding this all this time? My, what a waste, to think you could hide something as luxurious as your face. Nevertheless you're still his mate-

• Jade blinked a second too long, but maybe it was because of the glow the sunlight gave you (thank the sun atp it's doing its job) you were something a land dweller should not look like, are you sure you're not a merfolk or Fae, by any chance? Or if there is any in your ancestry? If your bloodline had always been this beautiful, then surely you're a rarity of some kind, no?

• Seeing you getting away from them since yk your mask is not there and you left it with the trio who promised to keep it with them til you've had your fresh of air and stuff now really made you nervous, how the heck did you let them see you like this? Dude, it's like the universe just randomly picked you as their fave past time to fuck with! But, on the other hand he truly thought the universe would pick you as a favorite, since it's impossible to look so... ethereal in a way. Jade really thought his eyes had been blessed by the sea witch herself,

• Just what is a hidden angel like you are doing here, at a school like this? (Even better if your style was morute or smth!) But, as of late, students had already made moves on you, no?

• Well, it's time to... get 'rid' of those unfortunate fools who've bothered your peace long enough, yes? Fufufufu~ thank him later, 'Prince[ss]/(monarch)'.

Floyd Leech

• He thought you were boring, I mean, okay you are from another world, nowhere from here and all. But, that's it? Nothing interesting, just with that strange thing you wear all the time on your face. So what? Not his problem.

How he found out?:

• Maybe he took interest in you after finding out you attract and unintentionally cause trouble, like, BIG trouble! Aren't ya a fun one? Hey!~ you're small, like a Koebi! Ne, ne, Koebi-chan, why are you wearing that thing around your face?~

• And of course, his interest grew when you even managed to get Leona, of all people, to help you. Aren't you a bit mischievous?~ then, cue to Azul's overblot, looking at you he was kinda surprised your not scared, at all! Maybe from the last two overblots you've stopped caring? Oh well!~ you're interesting when you handle the blots and even directing Leona himself to where he should aim!~ look at you, so brave Koebi-chan!~

• But then the corridor incident happened, where he paused just to look at you and for a moment everything stops, the noises became background noises to him, everything slows down, you seem to glow brighter, and you looked.. carefree...

• Run. He's going to chase you next, all on fours, like a rabid hound dog.

• Ne, ne!~ Koebi-chan, have you ever thought of meeting His and Jade's parents?~ They'd love to meet with you, actually!~ Oh, and especially Jade, who talked about you a lot to their parents, which led to Azul's mom hearing about it too!~ you don't mind if he just kidnapped- brought you there, right Koebi-chan?~

• His mom really wants to see you, btw! She just wants to.... converse with you about some traditional talk between mer and humans... something. Mrs. Leech would be delighted if you do!

•...his mom will probably track you down just to see you-/hj

Kalim Al-Asim

• When he first saw you at the ceremony he was interested, like (depending on the color of your mask... especially when it's black) you kinda gave him a VERY, VERY, VERY vague fear of another assassin in the area, only to find out you were friendly when you tried to help him extinguish the fire out of his ass, saving him in the process (guess he shouldn't have vaguely assumed of you, hey! Your quite friendly! Wanna hang out sometime? Oh... you're not a student... :<)

How he found out?:

• It was an accident! Really! But, not gonna lie, he isn't dumb to be exact. He's just coping 😊! Probably heard the winds speaking and the main topic is about you, and man's unconsciously (though, this is hc) eavesdropping in the convo since this is more like a habit whenever someone plans something behind his back (I'm hc that Kalim used to be VERY vigilant whenever someone in the family or anyone that is suspicious in that matter, plans behind his back since he is the apparent heir of a shit-ton of fortune, aye man, rich life isn't easy as well, but the poor digress), but don't think his intentions are ill! He wants to make sure you're safe and all!- Why are they talking about you like that? A princess disguised as a pauper prefect?

• Cue Kalim sprinting at Jamil (<- before overblot) to talk abt the rumor he had heard recently (and apparently 3 other dorms have discovered this before his), Jamil really looked like he wanted to collapse onto bed and sleep his days away (Man's want to retire so badly but he can't bc of the consequences afterwards) so now let's timeskip to winter break where everyone is leaving (Jamil: What is Rook staring at?? Idk, maybe at the prefect-)

• So during mid winter break you and Grim were probably fighting over food (either both of you are big backs or it was the last slice) and you both happened to smell a heavenly food paradise in the canteen and decided to go there with Grim- Oh! Can't forget about your mask! So then after that you just followed the smell like it's calling your spirit to the pearly gates of heaven or smth like that.

• Oh! And would'ya look at that! You're here!! Hiiii! Come, come, enjoy yourself, and feel at home! (And hope the snake doesn't strike your neck the moment you've let your guard down-)

• He kept on thinking about you and the mask you wore during Scarabia, why were you wearing that in such a hot weather? Oh well, that's fine! But he's worried you might get a heatstroke or a fever if you kept that on and melt there! Here, a fan if you'd like!

• Kept on clinging to you like some koala and Jamil didn't even attempt to make Kalim yell at you (at least, not again since you almost cried out crystals. Yes, he's referring to your watery tears as some sort of rare jewel that threatened to draw guilt and regret from his eyes).

• So maybe when the time you've escaped, crashed down to Octavinelle (Hiii, Koebi-chan!!!) (Fufu~ got into trouble again, prefect?) [Sigh, what are you doing here at this late hour? Not that I mind-]

• And when you come back to Scarabia with the variety seafood trio all shit goes south instead of north, Jamil overblots (but idk if he had gained affection for you so let's say it's still underdeveloped) and of you gets thrown into the abyss of the map like it's proving earth is flat and has no rounds.

• but dw you get saved and cushioned safely.

• By Kalim???? Yo, your mask fell off-

• Kalim is speechless, not only did he get betrayed but it felt like he got betrayed twice- but let's talk about this later, they've got bigger problems to deal with-

• And there you go, scolding Kalim for letting his 'best snake friend' push him over when he literally threw all six of you (+ Grim) into the ends of the map as if you all were personified grenades being thrown by an lunatic soldier with PTSD.

• But imagine being scolded by a baddie with a lethal face card... That shit hits me right in the feels- I will probably hide myself if I ever got scolded by a beauty (Vil got competition-)

• So imagine to your surprise, Kalim actually resolves into punching Jamil for throwing them out, especially when he threw you as well.

• And the overblots over and everything is back to normal again with some tension. Dw, Kalim will cry out his frustrations with his DIY rain later on... but now he felt ashamed. So you just had to snap him back to reality, although he's not entirely at fault, he's still the root problem of it even if he hasn't done anything. His family chained the Viper family so he wasn't the entire cause of it. It's just unrelenting anger of a teenage boy who just wants to be free from servitude like a normal boy.

• Then healing trauma begins bc I said so (I love comforting every character, even if they look stable on the outside, have I ever mentioned that fact abt me? Oh, but I'm not going to always give them fluff so I guess just a little bit!) And you Kalim and Jamil are probably getting therapy from you (I like to hc my OC as a psychiatrist for these guys and trying to help them in anyway she can, but you can ignore this part since this part is solely for my self-indulgence, the rest is for you ^♡^)

• So.... Prefect, how exactly are you ugly? I mean, not to judge by appearances, but clearly you HAVE potential! Like, look at your face! Your personality is oozing angel vibes! Okay, maybe your mindset and mental stability isn't as great, but at least your alive (for now! But let's not tell him-) and that's all that matters!... Have you ever thought of being married one day-

Jamil Viper

• Okay, to start off, he almost assumed you were an assassin for Kalim, until you helped the said boy but still had his suspicions, like, tf do you mean you're from another world with no magic? How do you survive on that?

How he found out?:

• Maybe it was accidental, maybe it wasn't. But either way, he had heard Kalim ramble about you, the same student that caused a ruckus in this school lately, had been charming others, with what exactly? He doesn't know, but assumptions based on how they talk about your face, combined with your personality, might be an explanation as to why.

• kinda regretted making Kalim yell at you too harshly, to the point where some of the words got a bit stingy and stung you right in the feels and teared up a little.

• skip to pre-overblot, dude genuinely thought he won, then he saw one of God's most precious creation in humanity (you) and thought he went to the afterlife after a few minutes (or hours) of overblotting. Like, you were served as distraction and successfully did it without much effort since you've hidden your mask (Maybe you shouldn't trust Jade with that mask of yours, give it to Kalim, idk keep it safe). And dude, he just full on rant on how precious you've looked gorgeous and impossible to attain (Yandere overblots bc intense emotions from it theory??🤭🤭) but now, since he's free, wouldn't you like to join him, precious jewel?

• And the embarrassment starts right after realizing what he said to you during his overblot... he's so sorry. He' wants to go die in a hole rn. He is just a mere servant and yet he dared to speak to you in a mighty tone? Damn, might as well get executed rather than seeing your disappointment...

• Makes you yummy spicy foods and sometimes 'coincidently' makes your favorite food without much notice.

• Forgive this mere servant that lacks proper etiquette towards an ethereal being like you. He's sorry.

• But then let's just say you want him to get comfortable with being himself around you, so you did and made sure he could always be himself even in the smallest of moments.

Epel Felmier

• He at first thought you were nice in the ceremony, he really hoped you'd be in the same dorm as him for whatever reason. Only to be let down when the mirror claimed you're not from here nor anywhere. So color him surprise when you've dealt with 4 overblots lately AND having a rumor that circulated about your face. Like, he hasn't seen your face because of that mask you wore all the time, but if given the chance, he kinda wants to see it as well.

How he found out?:

• I guess it took place at the VDC, though this is the time when you (having enough confidence, albeit still hesitant, to remove your mask around this time but you don't know of the other rumors that had been around besides the overblot rumors. And you assume every guy here wants to prank you, especially with those weird gleams in their eyes that seem to appear whenever you're in the vicinity- and your friends. They compliment you equivalent to how your former best friend in your world "compliments" you <- fym you're going to touch me? Anyway, their compliments are nice and all, but can you believe it when your former friends had assured you these things too? At this point, when are you going ever going home? Or, if your home ever missed you at all?) So when he saw you, he tripped and his voiced cracked- he didn't give a damn if Vil scolded him for being unrefined, but he really didn't care. You looked.. beautiful.

• And actually? He wanted you to see him manly. Like, you'll be the maiden, him as a knight. Oh, but that's just daydreaming, in reality? Even if you're 'beautiful' (which your pretty sure you aren't, last time you checked), you still hold everything together (with all your very small will to live). Though, maybe during the VDC you kinda taught him that not everything is 'girly' or ruining his image as a man. So Epel kinda got it? Well, right after the incident with Deuce, Using his looks to attract and distract, it worked in the end! But, now he has a new pro-found power to his advantage...

• Still, you won't look at him like he's girly and feminine, right? After all, he wants to be the one that protects you.

• And then Vil overblots. So now, you gotta deal with this bullshte again.

• Afterwards, everything goes back to normal, and stuff then you go spilling the beans calling a specific horned friend of yours 'Tsunotarou'.

•... 😰😰😰😰😰😰😰 <- the casts faces after that:

• NO CONSEQUENCES??? HE JUST LAUGHED IT OFF??? WHATDAFAQ?

• Talk about privileges 😭...

• But after that ordeal, Epel has a friendgroup he had been invited too, yay!! First year gang, les goo!!

• And you dragging Sebek as well. He's invited. (Ironic, right?)

• Hey, prefect, do ya wanna see his meemaw?-

Rook Hunt

• Of course, he's going to take interest in you, like, c'mon, another world? Not from here? Nonexistent? un tel mystère! But couldn't observe you because, unfortunately you weren't an official student at all! Ah... a shame it is..

How he found out?:

• Was just staring at you, mesmerized simply because you were outstanding! During winter break before he left, took one glance at you a second too long before heading out to who knows where he was really enthusiastic about you and very curious.

• So Imagine to his pleasant surprise, you became an unofficial student, a prefect from a dilapidated dorm, and taking care of monsieur furball? Comme c'est intéressant ! Dealing with four overblots despite being magicless? Tout simplement magnifique ! And the fact that you have an another rumor that had been spreading wild lately before winter break, it makes him want to see it for himself! Oui, he knows you are a kind soul, your heart made with delicate flowers tangled with the thorns protecting its main core, a mind full of creativity and unspoken words just at the tip of your tongue! He wants to learn more! And maybe learn why you are so different than the rest, could it be fate? Ohhh, he just wants to serenade to you! But, he does not want to scare you away, so he'll hold it back (for now)

• When he saw your face at the VDC, he understood what the others felt whenever you were near, how come a beauté like you hide yourself like this? His heart aches slightly from the thought of someone, tainting your perception of yourself and making you believe you aren't enough, oh dear. What a tragedy! He wants to remind you of how beautiful you are each day, giving you reminders that you are of importance to someone, even if you don't see it, and especially to this world, where you and ensnared the many hearts of others, what to do, if anyone else outside of this campus found out a beauté d'un autre monde and decided to take you for themselves?

• After the overblot showdown, Rook was more prone into following you and giving you lovely surprises!

•... And discreet touches, even hand-holding whenever you want to go to the town and buy something after being permitted by the headmage, and little small acts of services for you.

Vil Scheonheit

• At first, he was uninterested and was much more focus on getting this over with and clean these dirty potatoes, until the ceremony incident happened and caught a small glimpse of your face, tbf, I think he saw it first before everyone because why not? I wanted to, but let's just say that he noticed your mask falling off slightly, just enough to see half of your faced that was meant to be covered, he really hoped you ended up in his dorm. (But you weren't a student at that time so he was disappointed).

How he found out?:

• Well, it didn't take much since he already saw it in the ceremony, but not the full deal, since the VDC was upcoming and all, Vil needed candidates, (<- and before this he had already heard about you being magicless, defeated four overblots, your reputation, and the other rumor that was kept hidden from you, about your... "face card")

• So luckily your friends happened to be participating in the VDC and blah, blah, blah, just like in the main plot, but this time your team gets accepted quicker with the help of Hunt. (He told Vil you were in that group-)

• But right on Cue, the big ass bird appears and decides you should be a VDC manager (he's afraid the rival school might take notice of you), then sets his wings off to wherever the fuck he went. So, back on to Vil. He, of course, did everything in the storyplot.

• Then overblotted. (Neige saw you and is quite captivated, maybe I should make another part where NRC's most beloved prefect gets in a tangle with RSA...)

• Okay guys, just another timeskip because Vil probably got jealous of your face as well, but at least you are hiding. Still, he's envious that you're something he can't have (dw Vil, your beautiful and you'll mog me anyway) and with that we comfort him because he needs to know that despite not having the role he desired, AT LEAST he has a father who loves him very much (a rare privilege to fatherless characters).

• But, he must say... you are quite the catch... have you ever thought of having a celebrity as your partner? No? Well, do you want to?

• Father would be pleased to hear it if he were ever to bring a beautiful soul like you as his significant other.

Idia Shroud

• He thought you were some character straight out of an anime, since, you attract so much trouble on your hands. Look, normie, but you can't just casually get sent to another world, get into trouble not even seconds in, get dragged at a dilapidated dorm, turn into a janitor to prefect overnight, do crazy stunts that he might get killed for, defeat not one, not two, not three, not four, but five overblots during your first year of NRC, srsly... HE IS SCARED OF YOU. plus, with that weird ass mask you wore all the time-

How he found out?:

• Tbh hw was just watching you through the cameras to see if any trouble just randomly pops up whenever your around or just existing, but then he caught a whiff of your second rumor that even you don't know about! And it's about you and... your face? Dude, what's so special about your face anyway??? It's not like it could kill them if they look at you for within a nanosecond-

• Then he catches a photo of you and Cater in magicam, no mask, no makeup (or atleast what he thought wasn't makeup if you do use it, but let's say since we're poor, we don't have any), just... you. Okay, are you sure your a normie? Your, like, an SSR+ Ultra rare! But, he kinda starts getting it now... they're so lucky to interact with you, though.

• Then proceed with the capturing the wardens that overblotted, and shit goes down like always. Maybe he shouldn't have caught them if he knew it would attract your group and speaking of which he feels a bit ashamed he felt a little happy you came. Of course, he's not a creep or anything but he just kindaaaa.... gets distracted by your determined face? Idk man! You're just there! And that's making him lose focus! But whatever.

• *Overblots* and damn, you got some nerves showing up, little persephone. *attempted kidnapping*

• yes the boys had to save your ass from getting a persephone treatment. And yes, they are tired asf.

• after his overblot he wanted to kmh. Like, dude, he just tried to kidnap THE prefect, who, mind you, is friends with THE Malleus Draconia! I'm telling you! Prefect is OP with no magic! Actually.... he's kinda terrified what it would be like if you ever had magic. Justttt slightly scared. (*FALSE BUZZER SOUNDS*)

Malleus Draconia

• So when he met you, like before the spell- drive incident, he was intrigued, why were you wearing a strange mask? Are you sick? Allergic? Or is this some new style you humans are doing nowadays? (Okay, old gothic ass) but nonetheless, what's more surprising was that you didn't know his identity. Strange, child of man. You truly don't know him? Well, the opportunity just struck and he gets to be friends with someone other than his knights and (father-) advisor.

How he found out?:

• Was surprised upon seeing your full face without your mask. During the upcoming VDC, he was elated when you invited him. His friend wanted him to go see them perform! And with your mask too? Alright, he really wanted to see what you looked like without it, but either way you were beautiful to him. (Even if you didn't see it.)

• The moment you called out to him at the VDC, he turned around in joy...

• Only to get flashed by an overwhelming beauty your face holds, increasing when you smiled at him.

•... You are not 'child of man' are you? Clearly, humans are not suppose to look that ethereal equivalent (or dare I say even more than) to a fae? Are you sure your ancestry history have no fae blood? If not, then it would be slightly difficult to believe that a child of man is capable of looking so captivating.

• is this why everyone in school grounds try and hog your attention all the time? Well, he gets the appeal now. But your appearance does not matter to him, he is only and solely after your heart.

• But would it be so bad if he wished you believed in those who praised your beauty and soul? Clearly, your as radiant as the moon that shines light in the dark night, your beauty need not command the attention, simply by existing and showing yourself unapologetically to the world, it kneels.

•... Yeah I think he's planning on courting you afterwards-

Lilia Vanrouge

• In the ceremony, he was quite curious about you, no soul, no shape, no color whatsoever? Intriguing, not in his many years had he seen a mortal like you in here, an odd choice he thought. When he saw you wearing a mask that covered half of your face. Were you sick? Surely you aren't, not when you function perfectly fine with the way you move, was it for design? An odd design, but he'd appreciate it, it may not be his style but whatever you'd do he'd like it, but not that he knows you very well, of course.

How he found out?:

• He always had pondered about that mask, but never dwelled in it too much, like in the cafeteria, he was a bit surprised you still had your mask on, weren't you suppose to eat in here without your mask? He recovered from that quickly, you were an intriguing one, fufufu~ but what made you wear that mask all the time? Was it more than just a design? Or was it... perhaps, insecurity? Oh, that one do, little one.

• Then proceed with the Savannaclaw ARC and you help him and his dorm members to form a plan, he was quite caught off guard.. he wanted to know your motives on why you decided to help them, or maybe you were just to kind? Either way, he was grateful for your assistance. But when the overblot happened everything was just chaos, seeing you suddenly concentrate reminded him slightly of himself whenever he looked into those eyes of yours. But, not to mention, it was quite captivating when he stared into them.

• The only big surprise he got was when he didn't see you with a mask on in the VDC. Oh my, what a bewitching sight. Almost made him envious there, dear! Your face, in all its glory, was beyond the words of beautiful. What were you so insecure about, hmm?

• On the other hand, he was quite afraid, this feeling.. a recognizable one. Something he shouldn't have harbored. And yet, he did. It might take him some time to get in touch and accept this feeling he hasn't felt in years, it hurts to know it's happening again. And to you, whom attracts danger in its wake. He's afraid of losing someone close, again. (Just imagine you guys bonded beforehand since I'm not rlly good in putting those, so off-screen vending time with your friends, and maybe therapy)

• But when he does come to terms with it, he decides to be extra but subtly making flirty remarks towards you, not that you'd notice if you were dense enough (actually, maybe if you think your going too delulu and assume he's just flirting for fun since your best friends does that a lot to you, like, I mean what's one more friend that likes making romantic implications as a joke to you? Haha, help it's killing your singleness and loneliness, bro...)

• Oh dear, please don't take his affection for you lightly, unless you want him to take it seriously? Would you prefer that better?

• You're quite a handful, but still lovely nonetheless. Don't think you are unattractive as you are unattainable.

Silver Vanrouge

• He didn't know you were in the ceremony, mostly because he was asleep and was dragged to safety when the incident happened. But as time passes, he had recently heard his father and a few members in his dorm talk about you, and he's quite curious, then dreamt of you, at first he didn't know who you were in his dreams, but the more you and him interacted the more stronger the warm feeling felt in his chest grew, just who were you? It wasn't possible that you were human, that possibility never crossed his mind in the first place. He fell for you, when you gently took care of him, in his dreams, you were a mystery.

How he found out?:

• during the Savannaclaw ARC, he recognized your eyes, paused for a split minute until Sebek called out to him, realizing he was stalling time he continued his duty, only for him to have a lingering hope he'd see you again.

• I honestly dk what to put in here, but let's just say you guys often see each other when walking past the hallways, going to classes, or when you both were in the same classroom, or maybe when you coincidently see him under the tree maybe late for class, so you woke him up. Only for him to freeze when you are the same person from his dreams- did his dream just came to life?

(Sorry if this was short, but just imagine the rest with this one!)

Sebek Zigvolt

• Literally didn't notice you at first, as you were just another human wearing a strange mask. But then gets the rumor of you being a janitor to a Ramshackle Prefect overnight, to shattering a very precious chandelier, to going to the Dwarves' mines to replace the previous magic stone, to defeating overblots without magic, to even charming looks and personality? Your reputation is such a mess. But he won't believe it until he's seen it with his own eyes.

How he found out?:

• Maybe Lilia recommended you to befriend Sebek, and so you did. You tried to, at least. Approaching the man was not easy, but you pushed through somehow.

•...And okay he said he hates humans, but you kept forgiving him and stayed patient for him until he finally relents and joined your small first-year friend group.

• And had or had not, been staring at you. Like, I mean, why would you befriend him, anyways? Why would you want him in your friend group? Then you shut him up real fast. Everyone can be different if you can just look at it very closely, Becky.

•... WHAT. BECKY?? HE DOES NOT CONDON IN THESE SILLY NICKNAMES, HUMAN!

•..but it would be nice to have a friend that stays..

• OKAY, HUMAN! IF YOU WANT TO BE FRIENDS WITH HIM, SO BE IT!

• Super protective of his friend group and is like some sort of leader in there. Always planning schedules for hangouts or study time.

• Obviously he favors you the most since you've done so much to get him into this group.

• And not that he likes you... or something like that! Never!

[ANNDDDDD THATS IT! I'm so sleepy rn and my energy had been depleted for today so I hope you enjoy this, please be respectful and be mindful that I've already placed the warnings up there in case if you didn't like some things I've written in here! Okay, take care! Byebye!

"Bad Day" | Pablo Gavi.

Summary: Since his operation, Pablo has felt quite discouraged and grumpy, and one day he makes the mistake of lashing out at the person who has been most there for him.

Warnings: angst

a/n; it's a little long but hope you enjoy 😬

ᡣ𐭩ᡣ𐭩ᡣ𐭩ᡣ𐭩ᡣ𐭩ᡣ𐭩ᡣ𐭩ᡣ𐭩ᡣ𐭩ᡣ𐭩ᡣ𐭩ᡣ𐭩ᡣ𐭩ᡣ𐭩ᡣ𐭩ᡣ𐭩ᡣ𐭩ᡣ𐭩ᡣ𐭩ᡣ𐭩ᡣ𐭩ᡣ𐭩ᡣ𐭩ᡣ

A couple of months had passed since Pablo went injured and had to undergo surgery. This left everyone sad, and had obviously caused a complete change in the boy's attitude, clearly for the worse. He looked more down and insecure, even though Xavi and his teammates assured him that he would be fine soon, Pablo still couldn't stop being clouded by bad thoughts.

And since that happened daily, you had been trying to support and be aware of your boyfriend's needs at all times, and added to that, your studies and household chores were exhausting you but you tried to cope with everything as best as possible.

So you tried not to let yourself get so carried away by the pressure and stress of this and help Pablo as much as possible, be it bathing and so on.

Although sometimes (all the time, actually) the boy was too stubborn and childish to let himself be helped, especially when it was bath time.

Like the other afternoon...

He came home after another special training session in a visibly foul mood. Like always, Pablo entered slamming the door loudly, causing a couple picture frames to shake on the wall—you flinched at the noise from the living room, dropping your book onto your lap. You could tell from the sound of his heavy footsteps that he was mad.

The boy passed through the hallway, without even giving you a glance and stormed directly into the bedroom, muttering under his breath.

"This is so damn frustrating," he grumbled, yanking clothes out of the drawer. He grabbed a towel and headed to the bathroom, slamming the door again behind him.

You, accustomed to this routine, took a deep breath and grabbed a couple of fresh towels. As she approached the bathroom door, she could hear the water running and Pablo's irritated mutterings. She knocked gently, "Pablo, mi vida, do you need any help?"

"No! Que puedo hacerlo yo solo, joder!" He snapped from the other side. (I can do it myself, damn it!)

She sighed, feeling a mix of frustration and worry. You hated seeing him like this, full of anger and pain. "Pablo, I just want to help. Please, let me in," You insisted softly, hoping to soothe him, since last time, he almost fell in the shower and all because of his stubbornness.

Instead of a calm response, the door flung open and the boy stood there, his face flushed with anger. "I said no!" He shouted, before slamming once again the door, this time in her face, miraculously not hitting the tip of her nose in the process. The sudden action startled her, leaving her standing still.

You stood there for a moment, feeling tears prick at the corners of your eyes. You were tired of this attitude but you knew that it was the frustration and pain talking, not the Pablo you loved. With a long face, she decided to wait on the bed, just in case he changed his mind. She didn't want to bother him too much because she knew how he reacted to persistent help, and she hated fighting.

Minutes ticked by, feeling like hours. She could hear him moving around in the bathroom, the sound of water splashing and occasional mutterings of frustration. She felt helpless, torn between wanting to give him space and the need to be there for him.

ᡣ𐭩ᡣ𐭩ᡣ𐭩

Today was a pretty bad day for you, since last week you had 3 important exams for which you spent hours studying but you still had the feeling that everything would turn out well, but to your surprise you failed.

This left a really bad feeling in your stomach all morning, yet you tried to distract yourself with other subjects and then making lunch for when Pablo arrived from his trials.

As you were turning off the frying pan, you heard the door open and close with a loud slam, something you were already getting used to. You wiped your hands with the rag and trotted to the entrance hall, where Pablo was struggling to take off his jacket.

"Hey, Pablito, do you need help with your—"

"No, I'm fine," The boy said through gritted teeth, interrupting her still struggling. The girl raised her eyebrows as she still watched him.

"Pablo, just let me do it for you—"

"Joder, déjame en paz!" Pablo snapped, his frustration boiling over. (Fuck, leave me alone)

Y/N rolled her eyes, starting to get irritated as well.

"Sometimes everything would be a little easier if you would just let me help you," Y/N crossed her arms.

"I told you dozens of times that I don't need your help. I can do things on my own, you know?" He said, finally hanging his jacket reluctantly on the coat rack.

"Well, I saw you struggle a lot with that jacket, so I don't know—"

"Y/N," The boy told her in a warning tone, interrupted her again, thing that was already starting to annoy the girl, who looked at him with a frown.

"Jeez! You should stop being so stubborn, Pablo, I was just trying to help," she murmured again, after releasing a heavy sigh, watching him walk towards the kitchen, slowly starting to follow him closely.

"Well, I don't need it! I don't need you!" He barked harshly, quickly turning to look at her.

Y/N froze, suddenly stunned by those words. She would never have imagined hearing Pablo say something like that. Tears welled up in her eyes, but she blinked them back, trying to stay strong.

'He doesn't need me?'

"Fine." She murmured in a small voice.

And without another word, the girl turned and walked away, cautiously closing the bedroom door, her heart feeling heavy already. The tears she had been holding back for those few seconds finally fell down her cheeks once she slid onto the door.

All the pressure and stress she had tried to suppress was finally taking its toll, and added to Pablo's outburst towards her, she felt that everything was too much. Y/N had reached her breaking point.

In the other room, Pablo let out a heavy sigh, while running a hand through his hair. He turned around and his eyes landed on the pan with food still warm on the stove, and the plates set out ready to be placed on the table.

The sight made him feel a pang of guilt so intense that it took him a while to realize the tears forming in his own eyes. Y/N always took care of everything—shit, even of him, and yet he took it upon himself to act like an ungrateful and insensitive jerk, and now Pablo thought about all the previous moments in which he behaved in the same way.

Pablo's heart broke a little more when he heard the inconsolable cries of the girl being cushioned by the door. He sat at the kitchen table, staring at the food Y/N had prepared, his appetite gone.

‼️ Please don’t skip taking a look 🍉🇵🇸

❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹 Here is my story 🍉🇵🇸

I am Islam from Gaza. I am 36 years old and a father of three children. I was living a life with my wife @family-aya pregnant with my fourth child in the last months, but on October 7, my life turned upside down. I was displaced from my home. On the first day, I lived in a house in central Gaza. My wife was pregnant with my daughter and I went through the worst circumstances. There was a siege, food shortages, and water pollution. During my pregnancy, many nearby homes were bombed, and the smell of death and the smell of gunpowder affected my daughter, putting my daughter’s life in danger under the tragic conditions of the hospitals.

On December 24, my house was bombed and completely destroyed by Israeli raids. My wife and I became homeless. On January 23, the occupation launched a ground campaign against the place where I live, forcing us to flee within 5 hours. My wife ran away and I was behind her because I didn't want to leave my city. It was a difficult displacement journey, as I was carrying my ninth-month-old daughter and fled on foot for a distance of about 20 kilometers under enemy fire and bombing. .

My children and I faced great difficulty during displacement as there was no clean food or drink and a lack of vitamins. On February 27, my wife received news of the death of a number of her relatives. I was seriously injured in my shoulder, and my daughter was also seriously injured in her body and seriously injured in her eye as a result of an Israeli raid. My daughter and I now need to undergo surgery and treatment outside. There is no treatment here..... After the bitterness of loss and sadness, on a rainy night and under bombardment, the time of birth came .It was one of the most difficult nights, as there was no doctor, and there was no continuity of going to the hospital. The sounds of explosions filled the place, and after we arrived at the hospital, there was not adequate medical care, whether from doctors, hygiene, or any needs of the pregnant woman. After hours of waiting and a doctor.

I gave birth in the most difficult circumstances, as there were no clothes for my daughter in light of the aggression. My wife suffered from not having a bed to sit on after giving birth. The birth process was very difficult, as if I had escaped death again and God blessed me with my daughter, Fatoum. My wife, my children, and I were displaced again into the unknown, and we live in a tent that does not protect us from the cold of winter or the heat of summer, with 15 people in a small tent Due to malnutrition, poor living conditions, and continuous bombing, my infant daughter died, and this had a major impact on my wife’s psychological and health condition, as she lost many of her relatives, her infant daughter, and our injuries.

Therefore, help us to seek treatment abroad, escape death, and bear the burdens of life.💔🙏

Explaining PIP, the reforms and how YOU can help!

Recently, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and Secretary of State for Work and Pensions Mel Stride announced measures to reform PIP (Personal Independence Payment). It's a benefit given to disabled people, whether they are employed or not, to help provide support for the extra costs incurred due to being disabled. PIP can be paid on anything you need, such as a carer, adaptions, your bills or a night out (yes, disabled people are entitled to a social life I'm NOT arguing with anyone about this!) On top of the changes to sick notes, the announced reforms are an assault on disabled people to desperately cling to power!

Below is an explanation of PIP and the reforms so people can answer the open consultations, call for evidence, and sign a petition. We need as many people in the UK as possible to answer both to try to stop these reforms from happening.

What is PIP?

The Tories are saying PIP is a one-size-fits-all benefit, which again is a lie as PIP is designed to look at how your disability affects your daily life and how difficult it makes it for you to participate in society, not whether you have this specific disability so it only affects you in these ways! It doesn't matter whether you're diagnosed or not, either. There are two categories they look at throughout, known as the 'Daily Living Component' and the 'Mobility component' The process involves 50 pages you have to fill out (link to Turn2US for proof https://www.turn2us.org.uk/get-support/information-for-your-situation/claiming-personal-independence-payment-pip/fill-in-the-personal-independence-payment-pip-form#:~:text=You%20usually%20get%20the%20paper,it%20is%2050%20pages%20long.)

With hundreds of letters from Doctors as proof of your condition! And then an assessment in which you will answer all sorts of demeaning questions, give in-depth answers that you don't feel comfortable sharing, and hope the assessor has understood how it affects your life and written it down properly and that you'll get the right amount of money at the end of this assessment or re-assessment.

To get the standard rate in both components, you need 8 points; to get the enhanced rate, you need 12 points.

They'll then give you two, three, five, or ten years (10 years is known as a fixed-term award and a light-touch review) to undergo the terror of the PIP assessment again.

The reforms proposed and why they're terrifying!

The reforms they've suggested so far are

One-off grants for aids and appliances

receipts to then be claimed back at a later date

the changing of eligibility for PIP or the category 'Long Term sickness'

Vouchers instead of cash payments

If you've read those four options and thought they were cruel, infantilising and impossible to make work, then you'd be right.

As a disabled person, bills don't magically disappear. You still have council tax and rent to pay or a carer. Will landlords and councils accept these vouchers? A one-off grant won't work here either. The vouchers also signal that we can't be trusted to pay for our own needs and aren't responsible—which is far from the truth!

Aids and treatments are already covered by the NHS, so this is redundant and will be futile, especially when you consider the long waiting lists for mental health treatment (and just generally) on the NHS—and even if they aren't, we do know that and will use PIP to save up for it, etc. It's easier and more economical to give us cash payments.

To have the receipts to claim back expenses, we need to have the money to spend on said expenses.

Changing the eligibility will (much like these other suggestions) put more disabled people at risk. If you want mental health to improve: Fix the NHS, wages, sort out the cost of living crisis and fund the research/support for Long Covid sufferers.

How you can help! - UK-based people, plz sign everyone else. Please reblog & signal boost!

If you live in the UK, there are currently two consultations open ( the sick note one closes on 8 July 2024, and the PIP one closes on 22 July 2024). Ideally, the responses will be used to decide whether these reforms go ahead.

Here are links to the two reforms for PIP and changes to the sick note process.

Please note that the PIP consultation ( the first link) is 6 pages long and must be completed in one go. It's also filled with typos, repeated questions, and very difficult wording in many places, so be on the lookout for that! People are rightfully complaining about its accessibility, so the link and end date may change. I will update this post if this happens. I also know answering stuff like this is overwhelming, so here is a thread by PeachyInWales on Twitter about how they approached the consultation. If I see any samples by any disability activists or organisations, I will post them here, too!

This second link is the second consultation or call to evidence. Which GPs are being stripped of the ability to sign sicknotes for people on benefits, which is again ridiculous!

And the last link is a petition from SCOPE to stop the government from demonising disabled people further.

Ultimately, we're trying to stop a benefit that is difficult to get and barely covers costs for many applicants from getting worse.

If I've missed anything then let me know! I'm sorry the post was so long, but it's a lot to go through! Again, UK-based people, please share your thoughts if you can and sign the petition! If you are not currently living in the UK, please share these links or the post so other UK-based users can see this and try to help.

Thank you!

new perspectives // part twelve // jake 'hangman' seresin x reader

sooo... it's been almost a year since I updated this fic 🫣 whoops lol but here we are!!! this part does include a glimpse into what's going on w jupiter/heavier topics but I don't get too much into bc a) that's not what anyone signed up for w this fic lol and b) I think any more of a reaction from jupiter would be a little out of character - and I think there's enough love/fluff/silliness in this fic to offset it. but anyway, as always let me know what you think and I promise the next update won't take a year!

Time felt like molasses to you lately… the sand in the hourglass wasn’t sand anymore, it was a thick, sticky liquid moving with no sense of urgency. You no longer had any sense of urgency, and it was just about the most horrifying thing for you to go through. Through the chaos of your evacuation and return home you hadn’t really noticed you didn’t have full function of your arm, there was a tingling pain that shot down all the way to your fingertips and so you had to undergo surgery to repair the damaged nerves. A complex thirteen hour surgery, with an even longer recovery time.

Your prognosis was good, fantastic even. Everyone assigned to your case at the hospital was overjoyed with the results, knowing that usually patients that were in your condition were lucky to achieve ninety percent function back but you were well on track for a full hundred percent… but, that didn’t change the fact that you were standing in the middle of your living room, two months after returning home, still unable to do anything other than redecorate the house. Or bake cookies from scratch. Or go through dozens of bananas for suture practice before using them in bread. 

Your mental health therapist had already signed off on your return to work, stating that so long as you kept up with your weekly appointments for the foreseeable future she had no reason to believe you couldn’t perform your job to the fullest extent of your capabilities, but your physical therapist wasn’t as lenient. Heather was incredible, she had worked with every single one of your patients who required the extra step in their healing process and you loved her then, but this was now… and now she was the only person standing in between you and a scalpel. 

Her conditions were clear, you needed to be at a two or lower, with no pain management medication… and you were holding steady at a four. Which, to you wasn’t much, and you regretted uttering the number as soon as you did but now it was out there, and Heather knew when you were bullshitting her. There was nothing to do but do your exercises, attend your twice-weekly appointments and wait… and waiting was not something you were good at.

The house had been organized top to bottom three times, along with yours and Jake’s closets (you’d made some executive decisions on his behalf that you were still arguing about), and you’d finally acquired and hung art all throughout your home. This was good, all things you’d been meaning to get done before everything changed but never had the time to do, and you were glad to have checked them off your list but you didn’t want to be here. You’d finally finished your home and turned it into what you’d always dreamed of but it felt more suffocating than relaxing when you couldn’t leave.

And you could, but what would you do? You’d been to the beach more times in the past two months than you had since moving to San Diego, you’d taken up residence at Penny’s bar and damn near annoyed her into not opening before five ever again, you’d visited all the museums and touristy things you’d never gotten around to, and now you were officially bored. Mind numbingly, insanity inducingly bored. Jake had offered to take some leave and stay home with you but you’d assured him that if you were both stuck together in the house unable to do what you lived for it might threaten your marriage, and you couldn’t deal with that on top of everything else.

You simply wanted to work. You wanted to get back into the swing of things and truly return to your life but you couldn’t. You were thoroughly stuck, and you had no idea how to move through it. Up until now there hadn’t been a single obstacle placed in your path that you hadn’t blown past, and it was driving you mad that there wasn’t a damn thing you could do right now. The only thing in your control anymore was doing your stupid exercises every day, and praying to anything or anyone that would listen to make your body comply with Heather’s stupid rules. There wasn’t even anyone you could talk to that understood your job because they always said the same thing. You know better than anyone how important recovery is post-surgery and how long it can take, it’ll happen when it happens.

“Sparkling water,” Bob said softly as he placed a glass in your hand and you gave him a grateful smile. “How’s it feeling today?”

“Still the same,” you answered and he nodded, very clearly trying to keep the sympathy off his face and you appreciated the effort. It was Friday night drinks and at least one upside to your house arrest was you hadn’t missed a single one in weeks. When you were working it was normal for you to attend maybe once a month, if you were lucky. 

“Hey, perk up over there,” Bradley yelled at you from the pool table and you turned towards him with a slightly confused and slightly annoyed face. “You’re next and I don’t want you souring up the whole place.” 

You let out a laugh, “I’ll sour it up if I damn well please,” you shot back, but you wouldn’t. You hadn’t, you’d kept your mood light and jovial any time you did group outings because you knew they all worried. They had the same love and passion for their jobs as you did, and if they’d been benched for even half as long as you were they’d lose it entirely, and you knew they were kind of waiting for you to snap.

Jake ran into the bar a few minutes later, slightly sweaty and still in his flight suit and you slowly swiveled in your chair as you looked him up and down, not even attempting to hide your thoughts as you sipped your water through the straw. “Hey sweetheart, sorry I’m late,” he huffed out, pressing a kiss to your lips that you reciprocated before pushing him backwards. His arms were particularly massive in this moment and based on his appearance and the fact he didn’t bother to change, you figured Maverick had him do push-ups for some infraction in the air… and you’d never been so pleased to have a rule-breaking husband.

“What’s wrong?” he asked, confused as to why you put a hand on his chest when he tried to step back into you but his concern turned into a full-blown smirk when he realized your eyes hadn’t left his arms. “We’re in public,” he said, almost chastising, but you just shrugged.

“And?” you replied, reaching out and gripping the firm muscle before pulling him back into you for another kiss, letting your hands roam freely over his arms. “What’d you do to piss off Mav?”

“What didn’t he do?” Natasha muttered and you chuckled. 

“You know what? I don’t really care,” you said. “Do it again on Monday,” you added and Jake laughed, kissing your temple.

“Honey, if you want me to do push-ups for you, all you have to do is ask.” His smirk wasn’t going anywhere, and his eyes were a little dark as he looked down at you and it took everything in you not to ask him to drop and give you fifty right in this moment.

“I’ll keep that in mind,” you decided to reply and he gave you a kiss on the forehead before going to get himself a beer. You chatted with Bob and Mickey about the exercise they’d done and they filled you in on what Jake had done while you laughed in disbelief. You knew your husband was good, but you sometimes wondered how the hell he was still around, in a general sense and in the Navy.

“Eliza!” you shouted when you spotted her fiery locks approaching and you grabbed her by the shoulders, “tell me everything.”

She chuckled, looking between you and Bradley, who had been moving to greet his girlfriend before you intercepted. “Uh, hello to you too.”

“Yeah, hi,” you dismissed. “Tell me everything,” you repeated and she just gave you a look before kissing Bradley and settling under his arm.

“Everything is exactly the same as the last time you asked me to tell you everything,” she replied and you huffed. “Patients are patients, attendings are attendings, and the walls are still standing.”

“Oh? Nothing about a Dr. Phillips from Baylor?” you asked pointedly and her eyes widened as she looked up at Bradley accusingly.

“I didn’t say anything!” 

“Why don’t I believe that?”

“He didn’t,” you interjected, “Dr. Stevens called me particularly distressed today about a patient and actually begged me to come down and do something.”

“God damn it,” she groaned and you just raised your eyebrows expectantly. “Look, the new guys an ass but I’m handling it.”

“Unbelievable,” you muttered. “I’ve got some hack in my ER terrorizing my residents and I still cannot get cleared to come back.”

“We’re managing, and we’ll continue to manage until you get back… whenever that is. There isn’t any rush,” she said and you suddenly felt like crying, and to push past that feeling you went down to the bar and ordered yourself a drink, something you’d done very infrequently since returning home. It wasn’t that you couldn’t, your mind had just been a little preoccupied but a little liquid numbing didn’t sound like the worst thing in the world right now.

You took your glass and wandered out onto the beach, picking a spot far enough away from the bar to be free of its noise, and sipped as you stared out at the ocean. You felt completely out of control and powerless, something you’d only truly felt while you were gone, on the other side of the world. With each passing day you felt those same feelings starting to arise and trigger flashbacks, unpleasant sights and sounds you wanted to keep in the past.

You’d spoken about everything that happened at great length with your therapist and you had worked to process it all and figure out how to move forward, but that plan included going back to work. You felt like she truly understood you and how your brain worked, and she understood that the best thing for you in this moment was picking up a scalpel and doing what you do best… but your arm would not cooperate and you, somewhat pathetically, glared at the scar on your bicep.

“What are you doing out here?” Jake asked, plopping down next to you and noticing the way you nearly jumped out of your skin, “hey, I’m sorry… it’s just me,” he said softly, eyeing your expression before putting an arm around your waist. “What’s going on?”

“Having a bad moment,” you replied and he nodded. You didn’t have them often, but when you did Jake always felt incredibly unsure of how to handle it. While you’d talked at length with your therapist about what happened, he got the bare minimum. You didn’t want to worry him, and he didn’t want to push you too far which put the two of you in a bit of an awkward situation when the bad moments came up.

“Was it what Eliza said? I know this is hard but you know better than anyone that these things just take time.”

“Please don’t,” you sighed and he gave you a confused look. “If someone tells me I know better one more time I might actually snap,” you explained. “I just… There isn’t anything for me to do and I don’t know how to just do nothing. I don’t know how to do this… I can’t do this.”

“Hey,” he said, tilting your head towards him and brushing the hair away from your face. “I know this sucks, and I wish I could fix it for you, but… there isn’t anything you can’t do, sweetheart.”

“I couldn’t save them,” you said, with a surprising lack of emotion in your tone as you gazed outwards and Jake was taken aback by the sudden admission, but he didn’t show it. “I couldn’t. Protocol was for me to get to safety… but, I went to the command center anyway, I saw what happened, and there wasn’t anything I could do but hide.” You paused for a moment. “You know, I never had to worry about it. About all the other stuff, I always had a soldier flanking me, watching my back… but it was just me, and what I had wasn’t enough, but it didn’t matter anyway because when I thought it was over and tried to help who I could I still got caught.”

Jake’s eyes were wide as he listened and you finally turned to face him, “I never had to worry about it before. I took an oath, Jake. I took an oath to save people. Some would argue I did the right thing, but I took an oath to do no harm and did the exact opposite, and what was it worth? I couldn’t save anyone.” You looked back out over the water and Jake felt like he was underneath the waves crashing just a handful of yards away, processing what you had just told him and figuring out how to respond. 

You had taken a life, and maybe if you were showing even an ounce of emotion Jake would have known what to say. He would have been able to read that emotion to figure out what you needed, but there wasn’t any. You were still, and calm. He didn’t even know if his own experience on the matter would be relevant enough to help you. He had two confirmed air-to-air kills. He had taken lives, too… but from a distance. There was a layer of separation between him and what he did.

“J, you didn’t do anything wrong-”

“That’s not the point,” you cut him off, but your voice was soft, almost gentle. “I know I didn’t do anything wrong, I did exactly what I was told to. My life was prioritized because of my ability to save others, so I prioritized myself just like they told me to… and it wasn’t worth a damn because I still couldn’t save anyone.” Silence lingered for a long moment before you spoke again. “This isn’t… I was prepared for losing people, this isn’t about that, it’s… helpless. Since the moment I saw what was happening from behind the command center I have felt completely and utterly out of control. I couldn’t do what I was meant to do then and I can’t do what I’m meant to do now. All I can do is wait and I can’t really do that either,” you chuckled humorlessly. “There’s a lot I can’t do, Jake.”

“Come here,” he whispered, tugging you into his lap and you leaned against his chest as you kept your focus on the water. “You will get back to doing what you were meant to. I know it’s taking longer than you want and I am so sorry, but rushing things could leave you worse off than you are now. Your body needs time.”

“Time is overrated,” you replied and he laughed softly, his body shaking you against him. “I’m tired of feeling out of control.”

“So, let’s focus on what we can control, yeah?” he asked and you nodded half-heartedly. “We can do your exercises every night, we’ll keep giving our friends suture covered bananas, and maybe we can find a way to make the most of this time off… we could go on a little road trip?”

“That sounds nice,” you hummed. “Maybe Palm Springs, or Joshua Tree,” you suggested.

“Hell, let’s do both,” he replied and you laughed. “You can come to work with me next week too, we have a bunch of different simulators and things… could help with regaining dexterity and strength.”

“You just want to show off your skills,” you teased.

“Yeah, maybe I do,” he chuckled. “It still might help… and it’s something we can control.”

“Will Maverick be okay with it?” 

“Honey, Maverick will be showing off for you way more than anyone else,” he replied and you let out a laugh. “Feeling better?”

“Yeah,” you nodded. “I just wish they’d let me do an appy, at the very least.”

“You hate appys,” he laughed and you shrugged.

“Desperate times,” you sighed, twisting around in his lap. “I love you, you know that?”

“Well,” he said, already leaning into the dramatics, “I’d sure hope so.” 

You scrunched your nose at him, “you know what? I take it back,” you said and his jaw dropped. “You’re too arrogant,” you added, standing and you suddenly regretted even teasing him because now he was standing too, and chasing you. “Wait, no!” you yelled, trying to dodge him and your laughter echoed all along the beach as you ducked under his out-stretched arms.

“Wow, aren’t you supposed to be like… super fit or something?” you asked, hand on your hip a good few yards away. 

“Oh, you’re just asking for it now,” he laughed, lunging for you again and this time he got you… and miscalculated and sent both of you tumbling into the oncoming waves. The water was freezing and it took you both a minute to figure out which way was up, and when Jake finally broke the surface he heard his favorite sound in the world… your bright, almost maniacal laughter. 

“You are such an idiot!” you screeched, clinging onto him as the waves bobbed you along and he didn’t have a response, too caught up in staring down at your face as he carefully moved the now wet hair out of your eyes… and you forgot to be pretend-mad at him because he was giving you your favorite look in the world. The one that told you he loved you way more than he could ever try to verbally express. You leaned up to press your lips against his and let yourself get lost in the moment, lost in the feeling of him and the gentle sway of the ocean and the fact that while so much was out of your control, there was a lot that wasn’t and that’s all you needed to focus on. 

You let him tug you out of the water when the cold became a little too much to ignore and as you trudged onto the sand you let out a gasp when you realized your toes were sinking directly into the earth, “my sandals!” you yelled, turning and looking back at the ocean as if they’d just be floating there on top for you to pluck out… and of course, they weren’t. 

Jake tried not to laugh, but he couldn’t help himself, “you look adorable,” he said, and you looked down at yourself. Your jeans were completely soaked and clinging to your legs awkwardly, and your white button-up looked frumpy as water dripped from the hem… and you had no shoes. 

“Yeah, well you don’t look much better,” you pointed out, trying to wring out your shirt as you walked back towards the bar. His flight suit was still hanging around his hips, the sleeves in desperate need of a re-tie and his white tank top may as well have not been there at all. Frankly, he did look much better as he tried to shake the water out of his hair with his fingers, but you didn’t want to admit that to him. Not when you had no shoes. 

“I just littered,” you mumbled as Jake pulled the door open for you. “I just littered in the fucking ocean.” 

“Hey, you have all this free time now… we’ll sign you up for some beach clean up to off-set the damage,” he replied and you rolled your eyes.

“Sorry, did we not get the memo for the wet t-shirt contest?” Javy asked, looking at the pair of you skeptically. 

“Ha ha,” you said sarcastically. 

“Huh… pink lace,” Bradley said and your eyes widened, as you looked down at your shirt. “Not what I would have pictured for you, Seresin,” he added and Eliza stifled a laugh while Jake punched him in the arm. 

“You think that’s funny?” you asked, taking a step towards him and he put his hands up in surrender.

“No,” he said quickly. “Incredibly not funny, I didn’t-” he tried but it was too late. You launched yourself onto him and clung as tightly as you could, letting the water from your clothes seep onto him for as long as you could as he tried to push you off. 

“Seresins!” you heard, cutting through everyone’s laughter, and you slowly let go of Bradley and turned to see Penny standing with a no-nonsense expression and crossed arms. “You are tracking water all over my bar!” 

“I’m so sorry-”

“That’s our bad, we’ll-”

“Where are your shoes?” She asked, looking down at your bare feet before tossing towels at you that you both caught with sheepish smiles.

“Ocean ate them,” you replied and she shook her head.

“No shirt, no shoes…” she trailed off as she walked behind the bar and put her hand on the bell. 

“Oh come on-”

“Penny, that’s not even on the sign!” you tried but it was no use. The sound of the ringing bell rang throughout the bar and you nodded in defeat as everyone cheered, turning to retrieve your purse from Bob to start up probably the biggest tab you’d ever have at the Hard Deck. 

“Rules are rules,” she said as she took your card and you gave her a half-hearted glare.

“It’s not even a rule,” you shot back and she just smiled as she placed a pair of sneakers on the bar.

“I want them back eventually.”

“Thank you, Penny,” you sighed, returning to the pool table and sliding them on.

“We absolutely deserved that.”

“Yeah,” Jake said, leaning down to give you a kiss. “We absolutely did.”

Help!

I'm tired of being a skinny loser with no muscle. I wanna be a confident bro. I'll trade anything!

Really everything? Everything you own? Ever heard of DeepTraining? Actually, you must belong to the mega-rich of this planet to undergo a transformation there…. But IronData is sponsoring transformations for high school graduates, freshmen and sophomores. You just have to get through the selection process first. And you then commit to IronData for ten years after graduation though. And you really have to give away EVERYTHING you own to IronData. In return you can undergo the normal DeepTraining process. And IronData provides you with a starter package. Interesting? Then I send you the link for the application.

The selection process will take place in Lansing, Michigan. At the Red Roof Inn, a rather shabby motel. Not your world. Your R8 Spyder V10 quattro looks a bit lost in front of it. It was a last gift from your parents before they crashed their private jet. A beast. You love it. The motel doesn't have a real lobby. But there are a few fellows standing around. Every now and then, the cell phone of one of them signals and the owner walks wordlessly in the direction of the hotel rooms.

Your iPhone 15 Pro vibrates. "Please make your way to room 322." Okay, here we go. You knock. The door opens. No one there, a notebook on the desk. On the screen a form with the general terms and conditions. Seems to be what you have already received by e-mail. You click "I agree". And then you write on the screen. After that, there are a lot of tests. Intelligence tests. Personality tests. For a full three hours. Without a break. Then a window pops up. "Congratulations, you meet the requirements for our program. If you wish to participate in our program, click on 'Accept'. After that, go to room 118, and the transformation will start in half an hour." Fuck! Now? Right now? No one knows you're here. You didn't sign out anywhere. But this is your chance. You know that. You click on "Accept". And you go to room 118. A voice sounds "Please strip completely naked and proceed through the door." Okay, now there's no way back. The next room looks like a simple hotel gym. "Please put on the prepared clothes." Sure enough, there are jockstraps, sweatpants, a tank top, socks and sneakers. And a cap. And a pendant on a leather strap. You put it all on. There's a mirror. It looks ridiculous on your skinny body. "Please proceed to the cross trainer. The first workout will last 30 minutes. An aerosol comes out of nozzles on the ceiling. The light is dimmed. Loud hip-hop music blares from the speakers. Every now and then there is a command to change the machine. You work out to total exhaustion. Then the light goes on and the music goes off. The door to the first room opens again. You go in. And first you have to sit down. And you look in the mirror… Fuuuuuck!

There is a duffel bag and a sports bag on the floor. At the coat check hangs a bomber jacket. "Please take your personal belongings and proceed to your dorm." Inside your jacket is your wallet. With your driver's license, your ID, with your gym membership card. You remember the terms and conditions. You start your business degree at Michigan State today. You're a freshman on a football scholarship. You have nothing else. Outside the hotel, two more beefcakes are waiting for the bus to the dorm. You fistbump your bruhs. They still have their sweaty clothes on, too. The bus is coming. It's rush hour and you have to squeeze in. You have the sweaty armpit of one of your bruhs in your face. And the other one presses his hard-on against your thigh. Fuck, you can't wait to get to the dorm!

Like most of the hot pictures of bruhs with cap I also found this one @simonsx

Could I at all request something about the car wash / power wash idea you mentioned. I just: my brain is thinking over all the adorable conversations that could happen. The fluff brings me joy. ;0;

Prowl x human reader platonic or romantic

Warnings: none

Word count 1.1k

________________

A huff leaves the human as they stand there tapping their foot while watching Prowl. They had finally swindled him into accepting getting an actual wash done instead of the quick decontamination spray he would normally get. "Are you going to transform or are you just expecting me to scale your frame?" They playful snip at him.

Prowl turned his attention to the human glaring up at him while they tapped their foot, his optics narrowing slightly at their playful jab. "I fail to see the necessity for such frivolous activities," he remarked, his tone sharp and snappy. "My current state of cleanliness is within acceptable parameters."

"Uh huh tell that to all the bugs you have wedged in your grill" they quip back at him as they begin filling a bucket of water as they add in the scented car wash mix.

He remained still, making no move to transform or comply with their request, "If you wish to proceed with this endeavour, you will have to do so without my cooperation," Prowl stated bluntly. He was not one to easily bend to the whims of others, especially when he saw no logical reason to do so. Once finished filling the bucket they flick the water towards Prowl as it splattered across his bonnet. "God you're such a sour puss. I can feel you frown burning into my skin, just transform please"

Prowl's optics flashed with a hint of annoyance at their persistence, The splatter of water across his bonnet elicited a faint twitch in his facial plates, his doorwings fluttering in a subtle display of his growing impatience.

"I do not appreciate being treated in such a manner," Prowl retorted, his voice clipped and cool. "I will not be swayed by your childish antics," Prowl stated firmly. "Don't make me get the powerwasher out" They threaten, standing there still pointing the hose at him waiting for him to transform so they can clean him. Prowl's optics narrowed slightly at the threat, the mention of a power washer eliciting a flicker of concern in his expression. Despite his stoic exterior, the prospect of such a forceful cleaning method gave him pause, the practicality of the situation beginning to weigh on his processor.

With a sighed vent, realising he wasn't going to win this argument, Prowl finally relented, his frame shifting as he transformed into his alternate mode. The sleek and formidable police car now sat before them, ready to undergo the cleaning process they had so adamantly insisted upon.

"This is very unnecessary and wasteful of both our time" Prowl grumbled in annoyance, had any of the other Autobots had been present he would have put up more of a fuss or simply walked off. As the water from the hose sprayed over his newly transformed vehicle mode, Prowl couldn't help but feel a sense of begrudging acceptance for the situation. The human was determined and persistent and had won out in the end, and he found himself secretly admiring their spirit and snark.

"Thank you coppa" they tease before giving his back end a slight slap before they hit him with more water. Prowl's engine hitched as his horn blew from the contact with his rear end. He goes deadly silent and they chuckle at his reaction. Once he had been hosed down enough they turn off the water and grab the bucket of soapy water. They start with his bonnet squeezing the sponge out before lathering Prowl up in a glorified bubble bath.

Despite his initial reluctance, he found himself relaxing into the sensation, the rhythmic movements of their hands soothing in a way that surprised him. hummed softly as the human began to lather him up with soapy water, the gentle touch of the sponge gliding over his bonnet slowly lures a low purr from him. The warm water and soapy suds mingling with the gentle caress of the sponge created a sense of comfort and contentment that he hadn't expected.

"Oh do I hear you purring! And you put up such a fuss over me trying to get you out here for a wash" they shoot back at him, they move further down his frame slowly working the soap into the mudflaps and rims of his tires. "I am not purring," Prowl retorted,had he not been in his alt mode he would have been glaring daggers into them. Though he denied it, the subtle vibrations from his engine betrayed him, a mix of relaxation and satisfaction at the thorough cleaning he was receiving.

"You're a terrible liar you know" they shoot back while continuing to work, dipping the sponge into the water before working at his plating again. Prowl scoffs slightly in response to the playful accusation. "Perhaps you need your hearing checked," Prowl replied, it's a bizarre tease, one he normally wouldn't state but they had him relaxing and were trying to tease him.

They laugh softly as they move down towards his rear, they snicker softly. "You're an Ass, and speaking of that, Nice ass for a cop" they state as if trying to make his processor crash. "Are you done manhandling me and removing my plating with your eye's? " Prowl managed to reply, his voice slightly stilted as he tried to regain his composure. It goes quiet between them while they continue to wash him down.

"So once I'm done with the wash down do you want me to give your Upholstery a vacuum and clean?" They hum as they wipe the bubbles off their arms.

Prowl's engine gave a curious hum. "Only if you can be professional about it," Prowl replied, his voice calm and composed. Despite his former dislike of the idea he was rather intrigued by the offer. The prospect of having his interior upholstery cleaned and vacuumed sounded delightful.

They lean down at his revision mirror as they clean off some webs. "Would you also like one of hanging air fresheners, air vent ones or one which is in a tin that just gets put in the cup holder. And if so what scent would you like? " They inquired with a smile, knowing they had him hook line and sinker at the offer. Prowl does his best to not seem overly eager when he agrees. "Both sound…acceptable," Prowl replied.

"I think I have an Ocean breeze, one or black pine" they state while moving back to hose him down and wash off all the soap of his frame. It makes a difference to his frame taking the dirt and dust off. "I've also got polish, if you want a shine up!" They tease knowing full well he was invested now. "I don't appreciate that there is a 73% chance you are doing this to avoid consequences for something” Prowl relays, but at that point he would deal with it later. “What, I can't just give you a wash without wanting something in return!” They state In fake hurt. “Prowler, I thought we were closer than that!”

“You're not making your case any better for yourself, you are aware” he quirps but allows them to continue.

Sweet Home 3 Teaser Personal Breakdown

As what I feared, Sergeant Tak and Sang-won collabed (for the lack of better word). The people showing symptoms, instead of being isolated in certain place outside the stadium until they die (if my memory is correct), will be taken to wherever the Neohuman gang intended to further undergo monsterization process and if some are lucky enough, will be Neohumans (since we know not all people become Neohumans, some turn into pure full monster form)

Dr. Lim is pretty much alive, doing the announcement on the beginning of the trailer (well I thought Sang-won gonna give him double amount of karma for the torturous experiment he volunteered, apparently a too high expectation my bad). My assumption is after the encounter in the last episode of season 2, he made an agreement with Sang-won (probably to save his ass) and let him to the stadium

Yi-kyung's daughter is also inside the stadium now. Hm, wonder how and when she get in 🤔 What is she gonna do in season 3? Whose side she's on? Or she's still on her own side with the non-Neohuman monsters like the ones she has befriended (notice that none of them are Neohumans)? We shall see

Now I remember why the high school shaman girl in Exhuma felt familiar, turned out few months before the movie, she played the monster girl Sergeant Kim met in the last episode of season 2 where his platoon went inside the facility (now she's outside with the others). Yeah, definitely a polar opposite role. Strange I didn't saw her actress name in the SH2 cast list, I wonder why

Some glimpses of tragedy and doom that will happen to the soldiers (and if my memory is correct there's the sick woman with military boyfriend as well). It's not pretty, I know

We got action duo Eun-yu and Chan-young obviously fighting the monsters (and probably Neohumans too). His fans on twt pointing out in an understandable fear because of the genre that this little sneak peak might be summarizing his final appearances (as in death flag), but let's see when the season is released. I'm positive he's gonna survive, but if he got the Ji-su treatment, welp won't be surprised again this time

The scene where everyone (including Hyun-su and not just the stadium survivors) gathered outside, I wonder what was that for? 🤔 There are some monster cocoons as well

Only Kim and one of his crew who survived Bamseom?

Where did Hyun-su get the cool black suit? Did he go to another shopping mall like at the early episodes of season 2? Have he consider wearing a sleeveless cloth because it's a shame the expensive sleeve got ripped again

My bad feeling and paranoia is skyrocketing again with that Eun-hyeok only scene 😶 Yeah I know he literally walked with Eun-yu and Hyun-su on the first official teaser pic back in February. But better safe than sorry, I never trust that kind of blank sinister look and head tilting

Hoooo, Hyun-su is talking about taking out and killing Sang-won? 👀 Can't wait for the unlimited stabbing and flirting between them (featuring Eun-hyeok if the battle royal gonna be real)

We (I mean Hyun-su) gonna fight a bigger protein monster?

Who does Sang-won refer to with the "we'll meet soon? Hyun-su? His biological child?

Good luck with your family drama and inner monster struggle, Yi-kyung. Wish you all the best

Please do correct me if I'm wrong or add what you noticed but I didn't on the reply. Thank you
